The Shores UMC playground includes climbing unit, swings and much more.

Special to The Record

Members of the Shores United Methodist Church conducted a dedication ceremony Dec. 16 for the church’s new playground, bringing to a close a project which began six months ago.

The area now features a large, climbing unit, two new swing sets, a Wally the Whale spring rider, a seesaw, refurbished basketball court and tether ball set.

There are also wooden picnic tables and benches which were custom-made for the playground. Plans call for additional items to be added to the area including a playhouse, a second spring rider and a four-square court.
